I’m historically an Apple guy, so I only have two Microsoft products in my house— Win11 on a VM for gaming, and Win11 on my HTPC for the same.

I was already working on phasing that OS out over quality and privacy concerns, but after the People Make Games video, I consider it my moral imperative.

Follow up: I’m now very comfortable with the reality that Linux/GNU will be my primary OS from here on out. Already chosen my next laptop.
So far, the biggest psychological hurdle for me in terms of daily driving Linux is that it feels incredibly fragile. I feel like I’m one unwitting mistake from losing my install and all my data.

After four days of grappling day and night with setting up a Fedora VM for gaming, I finally won.
Spoofing a nonstandard display resolution and frame rate is a far tougher job than I would have thought on Linux.
Thank you, Phiality, for making it easy with Linux-CRU github.com/PhialsBaseme...

Apple updated their leadership page

Apple’s exec crisis (and all their other crises) are seriously concerning.
What happened that no one sees a future in Apple anymore?

Tinkering with Arch (btw) has been an interesting experience. It’s made me reframe thinking of a computer as a monolith with properties into a container with many parts.

Less like a pocket knife and more like a pocket full of independent tools.

Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

Another year, another rewind season I can’t participate in because all my music is either physical or streaming from my OwnTone server.

Copped a used ThinkPad T14 for $220 as my upcoming Linux desktop lab. I have plenty of Linux experience in a server context, but needed a dedicated machine to get more acquainted with desktop distros.

Now to figure out which to start with…

It's things like this. This is why steam is a de-facto monopoly. Because they don't do things Tim Sweeney thinks are a good idea.

What are you all seeing in Linux gaming that I'm not?
I absolutely despise Windows with every fiber of my being.
But trying to hit high performance targets on games, even on Bazzite, feels like an exercise in futility.

Buying vintage tech is one of my favorite things. I love giving machines a new life. Got a refurbished iPod Classic 7th gen I’ve got big plans for.

The Game Awards website is pretty bad in that it doesn’t work at all. Pushed through a couple votes and gave up.

Very cool. Would love to see more games of the 360 era be ported like this.

Bought my wife an M4 MacBook Air last week and am seriously impressed by its performance. She gets a relatively stable 60FPS on FFXIV with moderate settings, even thermal throttled.
